Last week, I scored a quart of buttermilk for $0.80! I never buy buttermilk... just usually make my own by adding vinegar to milk. But, with this treat, I decided to not only make Irish Soda Bread , but make some delicious buttermilk pancakes!

This recipe is a family recipe from a friend I traveled to Ecuador with while I was in college -- she suggested I make these pancakes when she heard I had buttermilk! I'm so glad she did -- these are delicious.

I edited the recipe a bit -- used all whole wheat flour (a mixture of my favorite white wheat flour and whole wheat) and used applesauce in place of the oil! Thus, these gems are a little healthier for you.
